    Because they are Asian Heavyweights. They both were born in Central Asia not Europe.

    It would be like a British person born in the UK claiming to be Danish because they probably have some Viking blood.

    That has nothing to do with it... They are not seen as Asian by anybody, in fact they are not Asian by blood either.. they were born on a military base in Kazakhstan where their UKRAINIAN father was stationed, they were army brats. They are Ethnic Ukrainians(Eastern Europeans) not Asians... Feel like I have had to explain this to you before.

    Technically speaking, since Europe is nothing more than an Asian peninsula, they ARE Asians...

    And if you're born in England to Chinese parents then that makes you European right? :lol:

    you can go either with the country of birth or your lineage.

    both are applicable in your definition of origin.

    It only becomes an issue (for idiots who are borderline racist) when your 'origin' doesn't match the origin country's majority 'skin colour' - which is a tiny 0.0001% of your genetic make up. But some sad ****s always gotta go with the 0.0001% instead of the 99.9999% that defines you.

    bizarely they will happily accept people who are of much larger genetic difference on the basis that their skin is the same colour. Come on aren't we leaving all this behind, its 21st century man.

    This.

    :deal

    Americans still have the same cold war attitude where all Asians are looked at as the same. Americans look at the Klitschko's as the Viet Cong or even as the Norks.

    Because they are boring to watch.

    And a lot of people think they are PED cheats anyway no smoke without fire and history has proven eastern block athletes are normally juicing more often than not.
